No shit! LMFAO!!! I can hang on the track and in the gym against guys half my age at 48.
Lets not forget, Dwayne the Rock Johnson is in his mid 40s and the highest paid action star, make that movie star on earth!
I'm afraid this has ZERO to do with his age. SMFH. He's a very capable British actor and deserves the role as much as ANY British actor available.

Dwayne Johnson is awesome that's why he plays the young Mitch Buchanan in the new Baywatch.

Indeed but those were different films. I also seem to remember that the owners of the franchise wanted to avoid using an older actor when starting a series of films.
Moore was however their first pick over Connery. Maybe he was cast for more films because I. Fleming felt Moore was perfect for the role.

I saw sometimes a discussion about the overall behaviour of the played Bonds according to treatment to women, and Connery and Moore came away very badly. Even 007 is fictional though, they never ask the women into the films if they like it to get touched and so on and even they complained about that, they got kissed and the other stuff.
Well, this isnt to ruin the thread, but this was one of the reasons to change the manners Bond would act to femals actresses. Connery and Moore were more dinosaurs of their gentlemens way so this had maybe also lead to a actors change.
Brosnan was my favorite Bond and the decision to change the whole show with Craig was a little disturbing for me, nevertheless, Casino Royale was for my personal taste one of the best Bonds ever.
For female Bonds I would prefer Cameron Diaz or Anne Hathaway.

Actually it has a lot to do with his age because they always want to get 4-5 films out of the actor. He'll be what 45 - 58?
